PER CURIAM:
Xiang Yang, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic
of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal of the
Immigration Judge’s denial of Yang’s requests for asylum,
withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the transcript of Yang’s merits hearing, her asylum
application, and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the
record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the
administrative findings of fact, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B)
(2012), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s
decision. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Yang (B.I.A. Feb. 27,
2015). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED
